[QUOTE="MacGuyver, post: 439162, member: 18877"] I know I've seen aftermarket ones that are all metal, however I don't remember where I saw it or if they are still made. It is a bit odd that it would fail after only four months. The production ones from that time were prone to failure, but new ones you buy should be fine. You say break though and not fail. Who is changing your oil? If an impact is being put on there you are pretty much guaranteed to break one every oil change. The cap shouldn't be put on with very much force, because it isn't needed. Lot of plastic in engines these days, not much different than overtightening aluminum, don't do it. [/QUOTE]
